Human Rights Day is observed every year on 10 December — the day the United Nations General Assembly adopted, in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The UDHR is a milestone document, which proclaims the inalienable rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being - regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Available in more than 500 languages, it is the most translated document in the world.

We are looking for a student representative for the community organization Brookfield Cares! The commitment, if you are interested, would mean attending a monthly virtual meeting which takes place once a month on a Thursday from 8:00 - 9:00 AM. The group brainstorms different ideas on how to provide information and activities to schools and the community about mental health and substance misuse. Your role would be to give the student perspective and thoughts on their ideas. If you're interested in being a student representative, or would at least like to learn more, please reach out to Mrs.Gioglio (gioglioj@brookfieldps.org)
